OOTD- I am not a Sailor, but I might be a home owner soon!

Yesterday we signed the papers and our new house is being built!!!  If everything goes through as it should *fingers crossed* we should be moving this summer sometime.  I think I am a little nervous to get my hopes up because we have had so many things go wrong in the past.  I am so excited but kinda sad because I seriously live in the best neighborhood in the entire state of Utah, and will deeply miss so many amazing friends I have made here (we are only moving 15 minutes away so it's not that bad.)  My mom taught me to 'bloom where you are planted' so I have high hopes that I will feel the same way about where I live in a year.  Yesterday to sign the papers I dressed as a sailor...
Dress Anthropologie Refined Cord Shirtdress: similar here
Tank Forever 21: Classic Striped Tank
Belt Anthropologie: Peek Through Belt
Shoes Naughty Monkey: Captain Flats
Necklace from hubs: similar here


Here is a picture of our house *almost* we changed the outside a bit by making it two different shades of grey, adding more stone and making it a 3 car garage.  We also are building on a hill and have an amazing view of the valley, which gives us a walk-out basement.  I am so excited and will show you pictures of the progress as it happens!  
It will have 5 finished bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, ahhhh room to put all my crap!  I cannot wait to join the club and finally become a homeowner!!
I truly feel blessed to have a hardworking husband who is making this all possible, and a sister who is such an amazing home decorator *and when I can afford it will help me make it look so cute!*

    WOW, I LOVE that house! It's so pretty! My husband dreams of a 3-car garage! =) I can't wait to see pictures....and how exciting that it will be done this summer! Crossing my fingers for you that it all comes together perfectly. I love the red and white stripes under the cord dress...such a cute mix! You look great!

    Cute outfit. You are totally making the sailor look grow on me!

    I am so jealous about your house! We have three bedrooms and no kids yet and I still feel like we have no room. Where the heck are we going to put a baby!!?!?!? LOL

    Ooooo, the new house looks lovely! Your mom's advice is good, too -- after all, home is where your family and loved ones are, so you'll set up a new home in no time. I LOVE this outfit -- I especially love how that little peep of red and white stripes under the dress makes it so much more fun and nautical!
